Glenview Youth Baseball - GYB

2025 GYB House Umpire Registration

Welcome

Welcome

Glenview Youth Baseball is offering interested students 12 years of age and older the opportunity to work as a baseball umpire in Glenview.  

Umpiring is a part-time job that provides after-school and weekend work opportunities. In addition to providing hard-working students the ability to earn money, umpiring for Glenview Youth Baseball is a great opportunity for the students to learn to take responsibility, be assertive, and to work cooperatively with their peers and adults.
